There are no specific national arrangements concerning distance learning in colleges.
As
regards HEIs, the 2005 Law on Higher Education provides that courses
taught as part of degree programmes may also be delivered using
distance education methods and techniques. More detailed arrangements
are laid down in the Regulation of the Minister of Science and Higher
Education of 25 September 2007 on the requirements to be fulfilled for
the use of distance learning methods and techniques to teach classes as
part of degree programmes, and the Regulation of the Minister of
Science and Higher Education of 31 October 2007 amending this
Regulation. In order to teach classes using distance learning methods
and techniques, a higher education institution must fulfil a number of
requirements concerning academic teachers trained to use such methods
and techniques, access to adequate IT infrastructure and software,
electronic teaching materials, face-to-face meetings with tutors,
on-going and periodic assessment of student progress and the monitoring
of teachers teaching such classes. For both full-time and part-time
programmes, the maximum number of class hours taught with the use of
distance learning methods and techniques as a percentage of the total
number of class hours specified in the relevant degree programme
requirements (excluding practical training and laboratory classes) is
as follows:
- 80% in the case of organisational units of HEIs which are authorised to award the academic degree of
doktor habilitowany;
- 60% in the case of organisational units of HEIs which are authorised to award the academic degree of
doktor;
- 40% in the case of all other organisational units of HEIs, and
- 70% if a given institution teaches classes to students staying in non-European countries.
